@fbs7 I'd prefer making models in a modeler like Blender. I want Poser to excel at Posing and animating the human form.

right, but we already have that in the pipeline; easy to use SketchUp or Blender to model, export mesh, import mesh - voila, prop easily done

also easy to use Marvelous Designer to make your cloth, export, import, fit, change to figure and import morphs - voila, both static and dynamic clothes easily done

so, what's missing? dynamic props and effects; it's very, very, very time consuming to build meshes for morph targets; even more so to build skeletons and many things (like a wave or a cloud) don't really fit either.

once I had hope that soft bodies would cover that gap, but soft body implementation in Poser is, imho, useless.
Try as I did I could never really do anything useful with it.

if there was a way o make an animated metaball, or fire, or smoke, or cloud, or wave in another software and then import into Poser i'd be all in for that, but as far as I know that's impossible (short of exporting 600 meshes for 600 frames of animation, and then redo everything every time you have a little change... that is, very impractical)

@fbs7 I think a lot of production companies still use after effects in many of their movies for such things, even if they have smoke sims available purely to save time... although that might have changed now.

Work on an Octane Render Bundle if you want the better Render-Engine.
Maybe they will make you a good offer for a version that will only accept Poser-Input.
Result would be "Real time Render" with Poser.

Don't follow the competition to give the program away for free. Instead add a lot of free content to the Package.
Then at the end - as a result - Poser PLUS $400 Content = equal to Competition PLUS Content (that you need to buy).

@theogott This is a great idea. I agree, give away the software for free is a bad choice. Poser has his value and should stay like it is. Updating content , will make it even more valuable. Octane would be really a huge deal which would bring a huge advantage.

@tempesta3d
I bought Poser because i need some Modells for my new sports-machine.http://haemerhead.c10.de
What i would like is some Modell likehttps://www.instagram.com/svetabily/
these i could really use for making the Pictures for my Sports-Machine.
Actually i was about this really a bit dissappointed with whats in the current
Poser Pro Package included.
